The Car Connection Expert Review

Italian supercar maker
Lamborghini plans to build only 20 of its new Murcielago LP 640 Roadsters “for
select and exclusive customers,” said CEO Stephan Winkelmann during the
2006
Los Angeles auto show debut of the
high-performance two-seater.

Based on the LP 640 Coupe, the new model is
striking in its asymmetrical design, adding new front and rear bumpers, as well
as a new rear diffuser and taillights. But the classic Lamborghini gull-wing
doors remain.

The interior is tailored to the driver and for
those who can’t push the 640-horsepower rocket to its limits, there are plenty
of high-tech toys with which to keep occupied, including a Kenwood audio system
with DVD, MP3, and a 6.5-inch video display.

The Roadster is powered by a 6.5-liter V-12 with
640 hp. The supercar sprints from 0-60 in just 3.4 seconds and hits a top speed
of 205 mph. Like other Murcielago models, the open-top car features permanent
four-wheel drive.
